Kill the Innocent and Save the Wicked

Democrats want to kill the most innocent and helpless among us and save people who have committed heinous crimes against mankind.

I know that’s a shocking statement, but stick with me here. I will support this conclusion with an analysis of the general position of the Democratic party on the death penalty and abortion.

(Note: I dislike when political discussions turn into name-calling. “Liberal”, “Democrat”, “Conservative”, and “Republican” become swear words. In this post, I use the word “Democrat” for simplicity’s sake. I know there are a wide range of beliefs and values among people who vote Democrat, but I use "Democrat" instead of "the majority of Democrats” to reduce my risk of developing carpal tunnel.)

My analysis goes something like this:

1) Democrats oppose the death penalty.
2) The death penalty is given to people who commit the most heinous crimes.
3) Democrats support abortion.
4) Abortion is the destruction/killing of fetuses in the womb.
5) Fetuses are powerless and helpless. They are completely dependent on the mother for their safety and well-being.
6) Most fetuses, if left undisturbed in the womb, will become baby human beings.

I think you can see where this is going.

The Death Penalty

Democrats oppose the death penalty.

Consider the current uproar about whether Stanley “Tookie” Williams should be executed for killing 4 people in cold blood. Mr. Williams is also the founder of the violent drug gang, the Crips.

A number of celebrities are trying to persuade California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to halt Mr. Williams' execution. Their argument is that Mr. Williams has reformed and is using his position to persuade children not to join gangs.

I can’t look into Mr. Williams’ heart and judge the sincerity of his reformation. I also can’t say that I’m 100% certain he is guilty of the crimes for which he has been convicted. But he has appealed his case numerous times and his conviction has been upheld by the California Supreme Court. The evidence against him must be pretty convincing.

Also, for the purposes of this column, we will accept the fact that the death penalty is legal and that the strict criteria by which it can be applied have been fulfilled in the case of Mr. Williams.

But all of that is irrelevant to the point I’m trying to make. Mr. Williams is an example of a typical inhabitant of Death Row.

Mr. Williams founded the ultra-violent drug gang, the Crips. The gang is responsible for countless deaths and other acts of violence. He has also been convicted of murdering 4 people in cold blood.

The four people he killed were:

1) Albert Owens - A clerk at a 7-11.

During a robbery, Mr. Williams ordered Albert Owens to lie down in a storage room in the back of the store. Mr. Williams then shot Owens twice in the back. Mr. Williams later made fun of the gurgling noises Owens made as he died.

2) 76-year old Yen-I Yang
3) Yang’s 63-year-old wife Tsai-Shai Yang
4) The Yang’s 43-year-old daughter.

During a motel robbery in which he stole $120, Mr. Williams shot Yen-I twice at close range, shot Yang’s wife in the face and shot the Yang’s daughter once in the back and once in the stomach.

These are heinous acts, yet this is the kind of man who opponents of the death penalty believe should not be executed. In their mind, he deserves to live, regardless of his crimes.

Abortion

Most Democrats support abortion.

Abortion is the destruction of a human fetus in the womb.

Fetuses are completely helpless. They are fully dependent on the mother for their safety and well-being.

Most human fetuses, if left undisturbed in the womb, will develop into baby human beings.

Abortion methods include:

1) Using a powerful vacuum tube to rip apart and suck the fetus out of the womb.

2) Injecting a powerful saline solution into the womb that the fetus swallows, thus poisoning the fetus. The saline solution is so powerful that it burns the skin off of the fetus. It can take over an hour for the fetus to die. This process may also induce labor and the mother will give birth to a dead or dying baby. If the baby is alive, it will be left to die.

3) Using forceps to dismember a fetus in the womb, ripping off its arms and legs, breaking its spine and crushing its skull in order to remove it from the womb.

4) Using chemicals to induce violent contractions in the uterus to eject the fetus from the womb. Sometimes the contractions are so violent that the fetus is decapitated.

Pretty gruesome, eh? Yet this is what the pro-abortion or “pro-choice” movement supports.

Conclusion

So, who deserves to die?

1) The unborn, innocent, helpless and unwanted fetus.
2) The cold-blooded murderer of four innocent people and the founder of a violent criminal gang.

In the Democrat’s mind, it’s the murderer who deserves to live and the fetus who will die.
